Z Fold Combat Gauze Hemostatic Dressing is a medical product used for controlling bleeding. It is made of a special type of clay called kaolin, which helps to promote blood clotting when it comes into contact with blood.
PerfectSeal Z Fold Combat Gauze Hemostatic Dressing, like QuikClot Combat Gauze, provides a bleeding control system that addresses bleeding scenarios from abrasions to traumatic injuries. Its proprietary hemostatic technology consists of a non-woven material impregnated with kaolin, an inorganic mineral. When the gauze comes into contact with blood, the kaolin particles activate clotting factors in the blood, which leads to the formation of a clot at the site of the injury. This helps to stop bleeding and promote healing.
This bleeding control solution creates a robust clot to control bleeding fast potentially giving you more time to attend to other tasks as you move patients through the continuum of care.
The PerfectSeal Bleeding Control System offers hemostatic products that can be used to control bleeding in the military, prehospital, and hospital settings. This technology has a long history of success.
It started being used in the military on the battlefield and has been the department of defense hemostatic dressing of choice since 2008.5.20 Over the years, the use of the Kaolin technology has expanded into law enforcement, EMS & Fire Rescue, and Hospital settings. For faster bleeding control.
